paid by paypal...or paid by check...which do you prefer?

Check. Because I don't have a paypal account lol. And I'd imagine it's more satisfactory to recieve a check with a buncha money written on it.

I like to be paid by Paypal if it is at all possible. It is quicker to receive it and I get invest it online immediately. Depositing a check is too much of a hassle, and then getting the money from my bank to my paypal account is even worse. With Paypal I can spend online and withdraw to my bank account at any time anyways.

I always choose Paypal..you get the $$ much much quicker that way.

Paypal all the way I think. I can't stand the waiting for the clearing time when someone pays by cheque...and admittedly I forget to check if it has cleared and in the case of ebay transactions forget to post the item because the whole thing has taken so long!

I prefer Paypal, seeing as most online earning sites pay in US dollars, if I were to receive such money through a check, it would be difficult to encash it or even deposit it without opening a dollar account with a local bank. Whereas with Paypal, I could easily withdraw money to my bank account and, in the process of transferring funds, Paypal already converts the money to our local currency. So yes, I do prefer getting paid through Paypal. Foreign checks are quite a hassle.

I prefer a check because it is easier for me to show people my earnings. Screenshots in paypal are not as easy to convince people they are real. I like hard copies like that. I am always cautious with electronic funds, in some cases you have no choice but to go with paypal. I will leave very little in my account, because of the danger of hackers, and because paypal notoriously freezes accounts. Even though the programs I am in don't violate paypal's terms, I am very careful with it.

I've never been paid by a site by check... In fact, I never cashed in a check of any kind... If I come to think of it, a check comes in handy, as I can actually cash it in. When I receive money via PayPal, I can't cash it in, because I don't have an accepted credit card for that, so I must find other ways of spending that money online (I've recently bought my first item on eBay, and I'm really happy of it - picture attached).

I prefer to get paid by paypal to my bank account. This is because of the lower transaction cost associated with that. Thanks for this nice topic and have a nice day!

Nomrally i like more to be paid by paypal/alertpay and payment processor online than by check i found it more fast and secure see that the check needs much time to arrive and it can be lost so..or even the EFT ,electronic found transfer,i found good and suitable for payments they are very fast and secure and money you cna receive in few time available!!Ok if some society will pay you just with checks and there are not possibilities for other systems i will wait for my check bu normally i like more other methods!!

I have always chosen being paid by paypal eversince. And when I request my payment from paypal, I simply choose withdraw and have it transferred to my bank account. So in my case, it is more convenient. I think there is no problem with choosing payment by check. After all, all of them are payment. The important thing is we receive our payment right. Some people may find it convenient to paid by check and some may like it by paypal. It all depends on what is more convenient and safe. Best to you!

I prefer to use paypal.. May be coz it's kind of faster than cheque... I have actually never asked for cheque payment so i can't say much about that. But I m a little biased towards paypal

Donot prefer check at all, recently a site send me $350 by check in my home adress but till now no news of coming, I now am totally inactive in such check sending sites.

I will love to be paid by Paypal. Over here, even if I receive a check, I will need to pay some fees in order to be able to get the cash. I rather got paid by Paypal, where all the amounts from different sources can be consolidated, and then transfer to my bank account for a small fee.

Hello, I will have to say I rather be paid by Pay Pal, because you know the money is there, and you have less worries about rather or not a check is going to bounce or not. I have a Pay Pal check card and I use it like a cash card, if I wanted to get the money off my card from a ATM I will be charged three dollars from Pay Pal, so I try to avaoid going to the ATM with my Pay Pal check card, besides I will spend my money anyway so what difference does it make to get the money out at a ATM, or use the money right off the card, atleat I'm not charged no additional fees when I just use my Pay Pal check card like a cash card. So with all that being said , I wish that all companies paid via Pay Pal and not check. Happy My Lotting!

i like paypal,and i don't like check. if I use check, I can't receive money in tiome,when i reach the check amout,the site maybe die,haha.

I would prefer to be paid by paypal if the payment made is in USD since i would not need to go through a hard process to cashout the cheque. Where else if it is my local currency then i would prefer to be paid by cheque. Having cheque sometimes make me feel proud because it is mainly for me and no one else can do anything with it other than me..

I actually prefer a check. However, I know that checks get lost in the mail very easily. Also, there is that possibility of them getting stolen. I feel like paypal is probably the safest method. I also think direct deposit is a safe method. That's the way I get my SSI check. Kathy.

i prefer being paid by paypal, as i dont know how international checks works. and i think it will take time before i get hold of the check. while at paypal, once i get paid by a site, and i have the certain amount i like to withdraw, i can withdraw it right away and transfer in my local bank account, and just wait 2-3 days. i have done it so i am comfortable with paypal.

I like paypal. Paypal is much easier to use I think, when I got pp I change it to money and then got out ! So far I have got paid only 1.96$ pp only!

I think getting paid by check is better. So far whichever site I have registered in I have opted for payment by check. I have started working online and I have chosen payment by check.
